Learn Guitar - The Best Way To Learn Guitar Tab

I’m sure you are a do it yourself guitarists just like me.

Most people that learn to play guitar have never had any formal training. At most they learned from a few books or a good home study course.

There is nothing wrong with this way of learning guitar but it does have some disadvantages.

One of the main problems is when you learn by yourself there is no one to force you to learn to read music.

The majority of people that teach themselves to play guitar are more interested in playing than learning the boring theory.

The fact that most guitarists do not read music means they need another system of notation that takes very little time and effort to understand. this system is called TAB.

Learning guitar tab will tell you:

• whether you need to use a capo or not
• The guitar techniques you need to use like hammer-ons, pull-offs and bends
• Guitar notes that you need to play
• The strings that you need to play the notes on
• what guitar tuning the song is in

The list above sounds wonderful but guitar tab has it’s problems. The biggest single problem is there is no way to tell how long each of the notes should be played for or the speed and beat of a song. There have been attempts to include this info in tab but they are never very effective and there is no standard method. What this means is learning a song you don’t know using guitar tab will be difficult.

With that said learning guitar tab does offer many advantages. It’s widely used so you can get the tab for nearly every song easily. It can be written in text only format so it’s great for the internet and you can learn it very quickly. Have a look at the video below to get the basics.
